Product details
Ideal for those who enjoy high-speed skiing with confidence, the award-winning Optic 96 is a versatile daily driver featuring our Gas Pedal Metal Overdive™ technology. Its chevron-shaped Titanal underfoot expands into the forebody and rear of the ski, delivering immense edge grip on hard snow and a powerful, smooth ride in cut-up snow and chop.
ROCKER PROFILE |
Rocker Profile – 10mm Tip / 2mm Camber / 9mm Tail Early Rise™ - The tip and tail lift away from the snow to bring the contact points closer to the center of the ski. This increases a ski's lift in deep snow and allows it to engage more quickly on hardpack when rolled over on edge. |
FLEX |
Directional Flex - The softer tip floats & initiates turns easily while the stiffer tail provides power, stability & high speed control. |
LAMINATES |
Gas Pedal Metal Overdrive™ - Titanal focused across the ski width provides increased edge grip and torsional stability while maintaining a lively feel along the length of the ski. Two independent tip and tail Titanal pieces add extra power and energy. |
CORE |
Aspen Veener Core - An amalgam of Aspen Stringers brought together for a lightweight, snappy, and engaged feel. |
SIDEWALLS |
Sidewall Construction - Ultra-High Density Polyethylene vertical walls over the edges absorb vibrations and provide powerful energy transmission. |
SIDECUT |
5-Cut™ Geometry - FIVE different radiuses are blended into the ski’s sidecut. The result? A wide variety of turn shapes and an intuitive feel. |
BASE |
Fatty Base™ Sintered 1.7 mm - 30% thicker base & edge, 2mm wide x 2.5mm high steel edges and 1.7mm thick base dramatically increase durability and tuning life the skis. |
BINDING COMPATBILITY |
We recommend a brake width equal to or at most 15 mm wider than the ski waist width. |
